  Lynch is easy. Refn is hard. I’ve seen Her Private Hell four times now cause a cute girl told me to, and I still have no idea what’s going on beyond “approximately every half hour or so, a girl gets bashed into a window head first and/or her chest torn open, and dies.” It’s got cool neon bullshit though.

  The girl is pretty cute too.

  I just shoot the art that I wanna shoot. I like my works, I’m real damn proud of them. I wanna show them to as many people as I can, to get in galleries, to have my work be seen, to make my mark on this world.

  I’m not a laborer with my camera. I don’t shoot food for packaging, I don’t get ninety seconds with an NBA star, I’m not on NatGeo.

  I’ve made a grand total of $300 from this gig cause I sold a canvas and a few prints, and I sold a shit ton of magic cards to get the camera to begin with.

  I guess what I’m saying is, I’m not gonna be some jaded old hack like the dude I replied to up there. I do this simply for the love.

  And for what it’s worth, your words have a good weight. :)

  They’re not even out here identifiably.

  I’m out here with my legal name up front, making art that I like, and being really, really proud of it.

  I, uh, don’t have a website though, just a Pixelfed account that I update with new work fairly often.

  I’m gonna start posting more work, not just because I like the work I post, but now with an added layer of spite! (Nothing functionally will change except my spirits will continue to be undampened, despite their recent attempts at doing so.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously, I don’t care if you’re Gregory fucking Crewdson, you do not say that shit to aspiring artists.

  Cultivate us goddammit.

  DO NOT DEMORALIZE PEOPLE OUT OF THIS FIELD.

  Hey, you might want to reset the password on your account, someone used it to post something absolutely idiotic under your username. Just letting you know, so that you get this sorted out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a preference. I’m biased away from cool light as a person, and like my work to be a bit warmer.

  I turn off QRedShift when I’m working, then I ultimately end up re-creating it by hand, cause I’m just like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve got a nifty fifty which can open to 1.6, and that’s pretty good for getting as fast as 1/250th in dim light, and I got it for free! :D

  Catch is, the zoom controls are at the bottom, on my feet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I don’t do people cause they’re hard to look at, what with the brain damage and all, so scenery’s more of my thing. Scenery doesn’t stay put, but it’s a hell of a lot less wiggly than people.

  And I mean, I’ve never seen the Oregon Coast look bad, you just have to take what it gives you when you show up, no expectations.

  Fuuuuck, I think I’ve gotta go there this weekend, just to get out of town.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I wish bridges sat still. Shit bounces.

  That said, wedding wildlife does sound notoriously uncooperative; trying to get a bridal veil on a rhino sounds, well, difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨business is business⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I shoot with a refurbished $600 Canon EOS Rebel T7. I use two lenses for the majority of my work: an 18-55mm, and a 75-300mm.

  Fite me irl, Nat, my shit’s gorgeous and I know it.

  The last game I played was Sawayama Solitaire in the Zachtronics Solitaire Collection, and sometimes I’ll just deal Sawayama on my table with actual cards, so I figure my life is carrying on precisely like this.

  Quite the opposite of playing, say, Soma, which would fuck someone up the mostiest.

  No. Get your shill bullshit off lemmy.

  They were indeed of the rich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Then please ignore me walking off with this giant sack of purloined goods. You saw nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, those are easy to thieve from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ahoy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Pirating from Amazon is actual, tangible product theft.

  I mean, I still support it, it’s just more involved to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OCUPADO!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemme scoot over and make some room for you on the toilet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The legendary PS2⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Your boyfriend is 24‽

  Well actually I guess that’s consenting adult range, carry on.

  I hope she gets that golden email, I really do.

  Have you achieved akything?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard work is no longer a guarantee of making a living in America.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would much prefer quality over quantity myself. Also hello, I’ve made a couple hundred posts in three years, and a few thousand comments. It’s a believable speed. I use Lemmy.

  I wish you would pick maybe one or two good things to post each day, rather than posting at such a furious rate that even copypasting titles seems implausible. How do you even select and curate the stuff you post?

  Like, if you’re throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks on reddit, I get it cause karma is tallied and that’s worth something to unsavory account buyers, but here? Points are worthless. I don’t get your motivation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning you degenerates. Here's a random pic I took this morning for you to do something to. Comment on it, caption it, meme it, whatever pleases you.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What can I say? I like good art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also did you get your phone out of the toilet yet? Should prolly do that soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's great to see a politician that's progressive and Not a Millionaire.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I had $66k. Could squash my wife’s student loans with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given your first reaction was to take a picture, instead of reaching in elbow-deep, James Sunderland style, to get your phone, I’m gonna say something’s amiss here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning you degenerates. Here's a random pic I took this morning for you to do something to. Comment on it, caption it, meme it, whatever pleases you.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  At first glance, I would have suggested to rotate it so the shore line is straight, but reflecting on it more, I like it just the way it is.

  You took a good picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m downvoting you too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to deal with people who obtusely miss your point on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes I give myself downvotes. Points don’t matter. Block people you find frustrating. Enjoy the people you like. Do whatever, just don’t break the rules.

  I’m downvoting this.
